Here are the correct terms associated with each definition:
1. The measure of the brightness, or actual energy output, of a star: **Luminosity**
2. The amount of light energy given off by a star: **Luminosity** (This is technically correct since it's often synonymous in this context, but if only one term must be used for both Luminosity and the energy output concept, you can skip this step to avoid redundancy.)
3. The size or measure of something: **Magnitude**
4. The measure of how bright a star appears from Earth: **Apparent magnitude**
So in a clearer arrangement:
1. Luminosity
2. Luminosity (or can be omitted as redundancy)
3. Magnitude
4. Apparent magnitude
